Fourth-year Brian Hunter (Chapel Hill, N.C./Chapel Hill) and third-year Jason Romesburg (Waynesboro, Va./Waynesboro) round out Virginia’s top six.

In doubles, the nation’s No. 3 doubles team of Vahaly and Montgoemry will play No. 1, while fourth-years Croker and Hunter will play at No. 2. Duquette and third-year Jonathan Chou (Newport News, Va./Hampton Roads Academy) will team up at No. 3.
